Today, I was talking to a guy I met on a dating site, and he asked if we could meet up and what we should do. When I suggested ice-skating he told me he was in a wheelchair, so I said we could go for a walk instead. I realised my mistake the moment I sent the message. FML

Just don't make a big deal about it :) I think the way you suggested it is fine. I've heard of blind people saying things like "oh yeah I saw that movie already" instead of saying "heard that movie." Going for a walk is a common phrase that doesn't need to be edited even though he wouldn't technically be walking. You don't have to walk on eggshells every time you talk to him, just speak normally.

its no big deal. it was a faux pas. it shall pass. you can laugh about it o. your walk. Go for a walk mean ing to take a stroll and see the sights. my baby and I walk all the time and I carry her, doesn't mean we don't go for walks together.

Don't worry op, I'm sure he is okay with the words you chose. I'm in a wheelchair and when ever I go out with friends I mention to them "let's go for a walk" on many occasions. Unless he really gets butt hurt about it, but I don't see why he should. Good luck op.:)
